Mark Twain IS a Reporter.

Mr.. Steve Gillis. printer and Journal
Mark Twain in the old days when the
latter was a reporter on the Call of this
city. They had likewise suffered and
triumphed together in the sage brush,
the dusty green foliage of which they
frequently succeeded in turning to a
bright red. Mark was, and is, a very
nervous man. Small annoyances rob-
bed the nerves, and it gave him mafig-
nant pleasure to experiment upon those
of Mr.. Clemens.
"Steve,n cried Marx, in an agonized
voice. shaking his bedfellow out of an
apparently profound Slumber, do you
hear .hat mouse-that internal. gnaw-
ing mouse? It's driving me'wild.n
"Oh, hang the mouse" growied Gillis,
turning over and snoring ostentatiously.
1t wasn't mouse, but a little machine
which Stephen was privately working
with 4 string for the benevolent pur-
pose of terrorizing his friend.
Mark lay and writhed, and cursed,
and gnashed his teeth. He cried so,
and beat upon the headboard. He got
up and threw things under the bed. and
walked around the room, and wrung
his hands and moistened his profanity
with Tears of impotent evaporation.
the mouse still gnawed, and Twain put
on his clothes and went forth and paced
the streets till morning, leaving his
tormentor to revel in bed.
"Hello, Sam; what in Gods name
have you been doing?n asked Gillis an
other night, starting out of real sleep
this time. and sitting up in bed. And
no wonder he was startled. Mark, un-
dressed, had just entered the room. In
his hand he held a japanese sword, as
sharp as a razor, a priced gift from
Bayard Taylor. This weapon was drip
ping with blood. The clock struck mid
night.
BLANK him, he'll never crow again. -
exulted the assassin. but even as he
crawled into bed the offending rooster
sent forth cock-a-doodle-do that caused
Mark to give howl of foiled vengeance
and bury his head under the blankets.
In the morning it was discovered that
his one furious stroke in the chicken
house had bereft eight hens of their
heads, but the rooster had escaped. He
owed his life to the fortunate circum-
stance that he slept-or, rather, crow
ed-at the end of TIE perch farthcst from
the door of the COOP.
Steve! Steve, say! Curse you. wake
up," come in hoarse and furious
whisper at 2 a. m.
Mr.. Gillis awoke and behold Mr.
Clemens. clad only in his. shirt. stand

ing violently. In his shaking hand was
revolver.
"SteYe," he pleaded. "you're warn

sake. get up and shoot this cat for me-
